barrymclark Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 In my quest for a Heritage, I am trying to nail down exactly what it is I want to order. Does any one have any pics of a highly figured (quilted or flamed) maple top with a transparent blue or black? I saw someone (brentrocks) on here had an absolutely BEAUTIFUL trans-green one.
mars_hall Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 You should be able to find what you are looking for here. http://s288.photobucket.com/albums/ll185/Heritageguitarpics/
brentrocks Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 i would go for the blue...the trans black hides the flame too much
Dick Seacup Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 i would go for the blue...the trans black hides the flame too much +1. I've never seen a transblack guitar that I've liked.
Thundersteel Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 How about this Hamer for trans black? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v170/IntenseJim/Jim%20guitar%20bass%20amps/Hamer%20black%20quilt/fromside.jpg[/img]
Dick Seacup Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 Hrmm...have never seen that one. ;D Is it yours T-steel?

Thundersteel Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Is it yours T-steel? Don't I wish! It IS for sale, though. I saw it over at the Hamer Fan Club. It's VERY tempting, but it's too much coin for me.

Thundersteel Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 The seller wants $2750 for it. http://www.hamerfanclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=33741
barrymclark Posted March 29, 2009 Author Posted March 29, 2009 After looking at all those pics in Photobucket, I am going for the ol' Tuxedo. I remember seeing a Gibby dressed up like that years ago when I sold them at Guitar Center and thought that was the slickest guitar I had ever seen. So, many of my guitars will be hitting eBay over the next couple of months in an attempt to fund it. haha.
guitarjump Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 I'd love to get a trans-black, myself. It's a tricky finish, though. As someone stated, it can often hide flame. Also, if it' s too weak, it looks more like trans-brown. The most successful ones were more like a trans-grey - though I've only seen G-word ones like that, no Heritages.
barrymclark Posted March 29, 2009 Author Posted March 29, 2009 Yeah. They do look slick. I think though, that they old classic black is the one I will look at no matter what I am into and say, "yes" to. You know? Just simple elegance.
guitarjump Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Yep, you can't beat basic black. Cool thing about black is you can dress it up (thinking more about Fenders, etc. ) with pickguards and other trim - and everything looks good with it.
barrymclark Posted March 29, 2009 Author Posted March 29, 2009 Prolly gonna leave 'er bone stock. Just black with the triple humbuckers. That'd be sooooo gnarly... I mean... seriously.

Dick Seacup Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 David Paul Prototype That is an interesting looking guitar. How are the controls set up? Specifically, that knob on the upper bout.
Kuz Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 That is an interesting looking guitar. How are the controls set up? Specifically, that knob on the upper bout. Probably a Master Volume (quick kill volume knob). That's my guess anyhow.
Dick Seacup Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Probably a Master Volume (quick kill volume knob). That's my guess anyhow. I was hoping it was a five-way rotary or something. LOL.
Dick Seacup Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Kuz is correct. It is a master volumne control. Being as it's a prototype and all, would your real name happen to start with a 'd', end with an 'e' and have an 'av' in the middle?
tulk1 Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Not a huge fan of blue guitars. But that one is very nice.
Paul P Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 I like the idea of a master volume. Why aren't they more common ?
